Over the last while we have been making some changes to our living room as we decided that it was time to retire our sofas and redecorate a bit.   It’s still a work in progress but I do have some photos.   I figure I’ll do it the same as our dining room and show how it’s changed over the years. …

The other day I was chatting with Melissa about her buggered up fridge and as I was looking for a photo of our tiny little fridge I got to thinking about if I ever showed the completed kitchen photos. I just did a search on my blog and from what I can tell I stopped updating once the tiles went …

Why is it that whenever we can’t use something, that is when our body wants to.   When we are carrying an armload of something, we get an itchy nose.   When you have stuff in your hair you don’t want to touch, you get an itch on your scalp.   When you are standing in a crowd and can’t bend over you …

Thuis means home in Dutch.  It’s been a while since I did some before and after shots of some of the renovations we’ve done so far.  So I thought I’d play catch up.

As anyone who read my blogs know, I love my cats but they are evil and they make me crazy with all the crazy things they get into!! So, I decided that life with them would be a lot easier if we could: Give them a place to hang out that is outside of the house. Have a place where …

This is me. This is me counting to ten. This is me killing everyone in my immediate surroundings in a PMS Rage. Today I am home having my turn to be with the plumbers and welders that are working on the pipes in the building.   What started out as a leak in our bathroom has turned into a leak in …

Today I was in a great mood at work, which was pretty remarkable considering it was a Monday.   On my lunch break I started realizing the world was working against me. No, that’s a lie, I really started noticing it on Saturday. We were leaving our flat and the sun was shining.  I commented as we were walking out of …

When we were in Canada we were at my sister’s place for a few evenings to visit.  While we were there, one of the things I loved most was her fireplace… it made her livingroom so cozy and really added to the atmosphere.  Of course, I couldn’t stop thinking about it since. I never really knew much about the fireplaces …

I have a PERIOD KEY! ……………………………………….. No more cutting and pasting! It’s wonderful! How do I have a new period key? It’s one of many new keys on my NEW LAPTOP! I know, this story just keeps getting better and better doesn’t it? It’s a Sony Vaio FJ Series and the things I love about it include: The glossy screen …

My belly is absolutely bursting atm… Last night Xander tricked me into spending a long time with a full group of newbies doing something I really didn’t want to do in game. This made me very cranky so he promised to make a great Sunday morning breakfast. It is officially known as and will go down in history as “The …

I keep thinking of that song Ironic by Alanis Morisette… A few weeks ago a friend was diagnosed with cancer. Being a bazillion miles away (as I usually am when things go on with the people I care about) I thought I’d try to do something nice to let him and his fiance know I was thinking of them. I …
